knob stem broke off switch

I had to remove the 18-22 screws that held in the top of the stove. Then remove the nut that held the switch in place. I took a pictures as I went with my camera phone. That way I remembered which wires went where. Since there was a two day lag getting the part, i was afraid that I would forget. Once I received the part, I just reversed the process. Hardest part was getting the stove top to fit back, as the rubber insulation had expanded a little.

Small burner full hot all the time.

TURNED OFF POWER TO STOVE Removed 5 Knobs, 2 screws that held bad switch.Removed 4 screws and lifted panel up and forward to expose switches. Adjusted spring tension on knob stem to hold knob ( stem in new switch slightly smaller) removed wire from defective switch one at a time and fastened to new switch in sequence. Reassembled and turned power on. Defective switch had stuck contacts making it full hot.

Move stove away from wall to allow working on back of stove. Unplug stove. Remove metal cover from top rear of stove. Pull control knob off of control (front of stove) Remove 2 screws holding infinite control in place (front of stove) Replacement control not identical to original control, having more terminal lugs and different physical arrangement. I used the terminal letters as a guide for placement of wires. The letters were not exactly the same, but close enough. Re-attach control to stove with 2 screws. Re-attach back metal panel to stove. Shaft on replacement control is smaller diameter and different shape from original, so I removed ribs from inside of control knob hole and then squirted a small amount of hot glue into the hole. Smearing a small amount of cooking oil onto shaft of replacent control I then slid the control knob onto the control shaft, holding it in place until the glue cooled and set. Plug stove back in, and return stove to its position next to the wall.
